hi all,

not gona lie... i miss the 260... so the rs4 is likely to be converted in the not to distant future.

just a thaught... i also want to get onto Chook Re tv receivers,

how ever i know you cannot watch these whilst the cars in drive... how ever with the manual box in. what gear would xanavi think im in??

im pretty sure an answer on how an auto stag can 'watch-drive' hasn't been found yet... would it cut me off all together? or do you think it would let me?.... im bout to do nisstune? maybe theres something in there we might be able to play with?? who knows??

if i unplugged all the plugs on the auto box, and had a crack at using the stock tv... would i get an answer??

cheers :verymad:

Aren't the tv tuners/displays hooked up to the handbrake switch, anyway? So I'm guessing it wouldn't matter what gear you were in, or if the car was auto or manual - as long as the handbrake is on, it will display. So if you "short out" that wire (or put a switch on it) to make the display think the handbrake is on, then it will work fine.

it does read the gears, easiest way is plug in those japanese overide boxes, http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/kong/y0000002983.html, about $130 if you have contact in japan. You are unlucky you dont have one fitted already from japan, have you checked behind your screen ? Otherwise you could spend hours trying to work out the wiring, as from memory probably around 40 wires into the xanavi unit. Think Andy does a solution for the M35's, not sure if this would be the same in the C34s.

If your coming to the stagea cruise on sunday i might be able to have a look. If its the same as the M35 then there will be a speed sensor wire that blocks the screen when you hit 5kmph and the hand brake that blocks the screen. I have an override box for an M35 if its the same as C34 you can buy that. Ill try and check some drawings later.

doesn't that suck! I have one of chooks tuners and an aftermarket head unit, and it is always on. which is pretty disctracting when there is motorsport on, but great for news etc in the morning traffic

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
